Teens 4 Charity

"Teens4Charity Our Mission

   Teens 4 Charity is run by board members ages 12 through 18.  Teens 4 Charity is dedicated not only helping others, but also to have fun
doing it.  We look to people and groups who need help.  We then figure out ways to earn money to support those needs.  Most important, we learn that helping others can be a lot of fun. "

Who We Are

We are teens ages 12-18 who want to make a difference in our community. 

"Putting the Fun in Fundraising" 

Every month we raise money either on our own, babysitting, etc. or as a group we do fundraisers. 

Once we raise money, we meet as a group to decide where the money will go. 

Each member is responsible to take charge of a monthly meeting by researching and then presenting a couple different charities or causes to the entire group.  Teens 4 Charity then votes on which charity should get the money.
